What can I use a Microplane grater for?
Microplane graters are suitable for grating a wide variety of ingredients, including citrus fruits, hard cheeses, ginger, garlic, nutmeg, chocolate and even nuts.
How do I maintain my Microplane grater?
Most Microplane graters are dishwasher safe, but for longer life, hand washing is recommended. Avoid scrubbing with stiff brushes to protect the sharp edges.
